THE BOCC PRESENTS - “Who Did God Choose? The Bible’s Answer vs. the Councils of Men”

THE BOCC PRESENTS - “Who Did God Choose? The Bible’s Answer vs. the Councils of Men”
From Exodus to Acts, Scripture defines God’s chosen people through covenant, obedience, and redemption—not through imperial decree or man-made councils. This message contrasts the biblical identity of Israel with the institutional Christianity that emerged under Constantine and the Council of Nicaea, which reshaped faith into a state-controlled religion divorced from its Hebrew roots.
We’ll explore:
• Exodus 6:5-8 — God remembers His covenant and promises the land to Israel.
• Deuteronomy 14:2 — Israel set apart as His holy people above all nations.
• Romans 9:1-5 — Paul affirms that the covenants, law, service, and promises belong to Israel.
• Matthew 15:24 — Christ declares, “I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
• Acts 5:30-31 — The risen Messiah gives repentance and forgiveness to Israel.
Contrast:
• Constantine’s Christianity transformed the faith into a political empire religion, replacing the covenant community with a universal institution (Catholic = “universal”).
• Councils (Nicaea, Ephesus, Chalcedon) shifted doctrine from biblical identity and obedience to Greek philosophy, hierarchy, and creeds, removing the Israelite context of salvation.
Takeaways:
The true chosen people are defined by God’s covenant, not by Rome’s council.

Christ’s mission and the apostles’ message focused on Israel’s repentance and restoration.

Believers today must return to scriptural truth, reject political religion, and walk as the set-apart people God called from the beginning.

Call to Action: Awaken, repent, and reclaim the covenant identity established by God—not by Constantine.
